First, GenZ haven’t been “kids” for quite some time now, granpa lol. Its Gen Alpha, and even then they’re getting older as well.
Second, GenZ and subsequent ones are completely disassosiated from the commercial world. A huge chunk of them don’t like “commercial perfect”, pre-baked vibes. That shows with everything: the garbagy/shitposty anti-mainstream meme culture, the “ugly” haircuts, minimally branded clothing (only area where this doesn’t apply much is in music, since its kinda the other way around with how “mainstreamy” most music has become).
Yeah, the older most people get the more broad their definition of “kid” becomes. I’m almost 40 but I’d wager someone north of 60 would still consider me a kid, relative to their own perspective.
Wouldn’t take normalizing ageism as a good thing. Especially when using terms that are way overexaggerated and imply a whole set of stereotyped concepts on people, because they’re younger that you.
There are some attempts to make music also sound weird, like how that Quebecois band Angine de Poitrine became popular a month ago and their music is definitely unorthodox compared to the mainstream songs.

It’s pretty normal to refer to twenty-somethings as kids if you’re old.

Am in my 20s, and still feel like we’re kids. We just happen to pay taxes now…
